GeoGebra Institute:2011 Annual Report GI Cantabria
www.geogebra.es
Introduction
The InstitutoGeoGebra de Cantabria (IGC) was founded in May, 2009. It is associated to the Centro Internacional de EncuentrosMatemáticos (CIEM) of the Universidad de Cantabria (www.ciem.unican.es ).
Two characteristics of this Institute are
- the plural origin of its members (from different regions within Spain and from several different countries) - the special relation of its staff to some important, nationwide, projects and courses related to GeoGebra (see http://recursostic.educacion.es/gauss/web/ and, as a sample page, http://recursostic.educacion.es/gauss/web/materiales_didacticos/eso/actividades/novedades.htm )
In fact, in May 2010, a cooperation agreement has been signed between the IGC and the Instituto de Tecnologías Educativas (ITE), (http://www.ite.educacion.es/), of the Spanish Ministry of Education
